摘要：	Adverse weather conditions cause havoc on our nation's highways resulting in accidents, delays and expensive clean-up activities. To combat unsafe road conditions, state highway maintenance agencies in the United States and Canada spend over state and local agencies spend over $2.0 billion annually to control and combat unsafe road conditions due to snow and ice. Reliable and detailed information is required by maintenance officials to make their operational decisions regarding winter maintenance activities. Decisions are made based on the best available information that typically provides a general idea of when and where inclement weather is due. The FORETELL program provides maintenance users in the Midwest with advanced weather and road condition forecasts to assist in making these pro-active decisions. The activities and usage information for the FORETELL project were compiled for the months of October, 2000 to April, 2001. This report reflects the activity of county maintenance officials of Wisconsin and state maintenance officials from Minnesota and Iowa, and provides some insight into how weather and road condition information is used by these users.
